Push-Pull

It's a battle I always feel that I am involved in...the old push-pull. Take this vest for instance, although the dog days of summer are upon us I am finishing up a piece of wool clothing for Hazel to wear come the cooler climes of autumn. My best effort towards living in the moment always seem to be upended in varying degrees by thinking of future days....Is this a battle that can ever be "won"?

HA! I am the same way- I am busily knitting woolens for cold weather while it's 90 degrees. It feels odd. . . though I have learned from experience that if I wait until it's cold it'll be too late! I love how you describe it- the push pull. . . I am not sure this is a battle that can ever be won.Love the plain vest, and I have thought of maybe making it too.

Not when you're a knitter...if you live in the moment, you'd be knitting a cotton bodice for a dress right NOW, and wouldn't finish it till winter, and your kids would be pulling on their woolens next summer. I too am working on winter sweaters right now...dreaming of a break in this heat!

Not sure where I am headed with this.
Sometimes I am like that, act first think second.

Who is this person?

It is a tricky thing to sum oneself up in a few words or less.Especially someone like myself, who feels like I am still very much a work in progress.My focus in the now revolves around my kids...all are at various stages in becoming the women they will be.Sometimes, during the rare moments of genuine peace and quiet, I make things. Things for them, for me, my partner, our home.Not exactly a few words or less....but as with me, at least a start.
